Jimmy Green Marine offer 3 different types of headsail furling system according to sail shape, each quite different but designed to achieve broadly the same outcome.
Headsail furling also known as roller reefing is a system designed to reef or dowse the headsail when the breeze freshens too much and for convenient stowage when not at sea. The reefing (furling) is achieved by rolling the headsail up so that it presents reduced or no sail area to the breeze
Select your furling system based on the type of sail to be furled:
Jib Reefing Systems
You can select and purchase your DIY furling system from Jimmy Green online, choosing from the leading brands: Plastimo, Profurl, Harken and Selden. These systems feature aluminium foil sections which you can fit yourself following the manufacturer instructions.

Furlex jib furling and reefing system – For carefree sailing
Furlex jib furling systems.
Furlex is available for dinghies and yachts up to 80’. You can chose between on deck or through deck installation as well as manual operation with a furling line or electric or hydraulic drive. You have the option of installation on an ordinary 19-strand wire, a Dyform® wire or a rod forestay. If you want to be able to adjust the forestay length, an integrated rigging screw can be provided.
If you want carefree sailing, Seldén’s got you covered.
![sailboat jib furlers FURLEX S](https://www.seldenmast.com/wp-content/uploads/Furlex-S-600px-e1588249684208.png)
The S-series is Seldén’s traditional jib furling and reefing system. Operated by pulling a furling line and fitted above deck, the S-series has been seen on boats worldwide for decades. The basic concept behind Furlex remains – a complete and reliable jib furler supported by professional sailmakers and riggers. Over the years the product range has expanded and Seldén are now offering Furlex S for dinghies, keelboats and yachts up to approximately 65’.
FURLING SYSTEMS FOR DINGHIES The smallest furlers in the Furlex family are used as standard equipment on numerous dinghies, small catamarans and keelboats. They feature stainless ball bearings for long life, composite components for low weight and clever designs to reduce friction. Properties that have made Furlex the world’s best-selling furling systems since early 80’s
FOR Ø4-Ø5 MM FORESTAYS, 18-26’ BOATS The Furlex 50S is the perfect choice for every sailor who wants a compact, low weight furling system. It shares many features with the larger members of the world-famous Furlex family. The patented load distributor in the halyard swivel and the full length distance tubes for smooth rotation are the same as on all the other Furlex models. Furlex 50S is supplied as a complete kit including forestay wire, halyard lead, stanchion block, pre-feeder and furling line. Easy to order and easy to install.
FOR Ø4 – Ø14 MM FORESTAYS, 25-65’ BOATS The fourth generation of Furlex is an uncompromising evolution of the world’s best selling jib furling and reefing system. Proven design blended with innovation is our way to maintain the iconic heritage of Furlex. The 104S-404S systems ranges from ø4 to ø14 mm forestays and are delivered as complete kits by professional riggers and sailmakers.

FURLEX ELECTRIC
Sailing by pushing a button.
Once you have experienced using a Furlex you will not want anything else up front. Jib furling is all about convenient sail handling from the safety of your cockpit and with the Furlex Electric a new dimension is added – ease of use.
WHAT’S NEW?
The MkII version of Furlex Electric, launched 2018, is a compact and weather proof aid to handle your foresail and smart enough to understand how much power to use. It works fast or slow at your command, it consumes a minimum of your power supply and it’s built to last. Lean back and let Furlex Electric do the hard work.
![sailboat jib furlers ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE](https://www.seldenmast.com/wp-content/uploads/304e_xray_2-e1588593239296.png)
ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE
Furlex Electric is designed around a highly efficient 42V electric motor. A DC/DC converter (PSU, Power Supply Unit) converts the boat’s 12V or 24V to 42V which allows for thin cables to the motor unit, easy installation and a compact unit design. Power is transmitted to a self-locking worm gear to rotate the luff extrusion at a max torque of 60Nm (204E), 90Nm (304E) and 135Nm (404E). These high torque levels mean that you can always rely on being able to furl your foresail – even when the wind and sea are doing their worst.
The motor uses only 10-25 amps at normal load and it takes 25-30 seconds to furl a genoa. When sailing with a partly reefed genoa, the worm drive provides a mech-anical lock. In order to prevent accidental overloading, the system comes with a built-in current limiter adapted to the type of Furlex, 204E, 304E and 404E. If you attempt to furl the sail without first releasing the sheet, the torque is immediately limited to a safe level. This safety feature is automatically re-set a few seconds after the control switch is released.
In the event of power failure, the sail is simple to furl manually. An emergency line-driver system is included as standard and can be used for both on-deck and through-deck installations. An emergency handle with ½” socket is available as an option.
Press one button and you will run the sail, in or out, at low speed. To double the speed, press the other button simultaneously.
Furlex Electric is available for either on-deck or through-deck installations. The main advantage of a through-deck installation is better sailing performance as a result of a longer luff length. More space on the foredeck is an added bonus!
UPGRADE YOUR MANUAL FURLEX
Push-button performance is an easy upgrade for anyone who already has a manual Furlex 200S, 300S or 400S series (production year 1997-2015) or the current models 204S, 304S or 404S on their yacht. The furling line, drum and the line guard assembly are simply replaced with a Furlex electric motor unit. No sail conversion is required as the luff length of your existing sail is unaffected.

![sailboat jib furlers FURLEX TD](https://www.seldenmast.com/wp-content/uploads/Furlex-TD-116-utan-lina.png)
MAXIMISE YOUR BOAT’S POTENTIAL AND LET THE FURLEX SYSTEM WORK WITHOUT BEING SEEN.
Tacking the sail at deck level allows for a longer luff length of your foresail. You will improve sailing performance without compromising the convenience of the jib furling system. The bow will also be less cluttered as the line drum is hidden below the deck.
The free turn of the tack swivel is the same as in all other Furlex models; a necessity to reduce the furling resistance and to flatten out a reefed genoa.
The MkII version of Furlex TD (Through Deck) has all the benefits developed for the standard 4th generation Furlex, such as, smooth furling with roller bearings combined with stainless ball bearings for the drum and an optional rigging screw to adjust the forestay length. In addition, the outside diameter of the line drum is smaller than on earlier TD models which simplifies installation in narrow anchor boxes and allows for installation further forward.

![sailboat jib furlers FURLEX HYDRAULIC](https://www.seldenmast.com/wp-content/uploads/Furlex-TD-6.jpg)
FURLEX HYDRAULIC
SAILING FROM THE COCKPIT AT THE PRESS OF A BUTTON
A hydraulic powered Furlex system enables you to reef, furl and trim the sail area to suit the wind conditions at the touch of a button. The patented, built-in motor has a direct drive to the worm gear, to keep moving parts to a minimum and increase power, efficiency and reliability. The worm gear, which is self-braking, locks the sail in the required position. In an emergency, the foresail can also be manually furled and unfurled with an ordinary winch handle.
The Furlex Hydraulic is designed to provide a harmonious visual interplay of stainless steel and aluminium. The hydraulic motor is located inside the worm gear and the positioning of the motor contributes to the compact design of the Furlex Hydraulic.
A Furlex Hydraulic is typically combined with a hydraulic driven furing mast. The complete system includes a hydraulic pump, valve units and drive units, all connected by hydraulic hosing.
The system is operated from the cockpit by control switches connected to the system through a control box.

Jib Furler for Sailboats.
It has all it takes to be a great jib furler.
Split drum In just a couple of seconds, the drum can be dismantled (loosen the three fast thread screws to split the unit into two halves, the drum F and the furling line guide E ) and your “WONDERFURL” can be transformed into a forestay to tack your sail to the deck chain plate, using the entire sail surface.
Swivelling head A The traction power between the halyard and the sail is distributed on four rows of ball bearings to guarantee maximum gliding capability even when the halyard is under maximum stress.
Round cross-section profile The round cross-section profile B (with double groove C ) is the main feature of “WONDERFURL”, together with easy assembly and maximum performance during navigation.
Tack swivel D The sail tack rotates on two rows of ball bearings to ensure the sail is always correctly tensed , even when it is furled.
Safety and comfort on board. Safety on board is of paramount importance and if useful devices and products are on board, navigation is more pleasant and enjoyable. WONDERFURL by Nemo Industrie is a reliable jib furler designed to easily and safely adjust genoa, jib and foresail from the cockpit. Sudden or strong wind changes will no longer be a problem: no change of sail, no ‘dangerous’ deck manoeuvres. Just furl your sail by simply pulling the line. It takes only four seconds to fully reef an 80 sqm sail and mooring operations will be much easier without bulky sails on the deck.
WONDERFURL does not require any maintenance nor lubrication, just washing with clear water.
- QUICK AND EASY TO INSTALL
- SAFE OPERATION
- LIGHTWEIGHT
- SUITABLE FOR BOTH CRUISE AND REGATTA BOATS
- MADE IN A LIGHTWEIGHT ALLOY FOR MINIMUM WEIGHT

Quick and easy to assemble.
Thanks to the easy spring-lock assembly system, the intermediate sections of WONDERFURL can be assembled in just a few steps. No additional splicing is necessary since the stay requires no modification.
The special lock spring prevents the profile from working loose over time, something which often happens with standard assembly systems which use screws. This special spring also offers perfect tightness even when subjected to continuous vibrations during navigation, mainly focused on the central-longitudinal area of the profile.
![avvolgifiocchi avvolgifiocchi](https://www.nemoindustrie.com/images/disegno-tecnico-avvolgifiocchi-1.jpg)
The furler is made of AISI 316 steel. The fittings (with a polycarbonate sliding core), extruded parts and other aluminium pieces are made of PERALLUMAN and a UNI 6061 alloy, ensuring excellent resistance to high torques, compression, bending and traction loads.
A row of eight ball bearings in reinforced delrin guarantee perfect sliding even under stress.

“Wonderfurl KR”: a small yet great Jib Furler.
“KR” is a highly rational product that has been specially designed for boats with stays of reduced length and a diameter of 4-7 mm. Like the other WONDERFURL models, this jib furler is made of high quality materials, it has a round cross-section profile and a spring lock system. However, it is fitted with a non-split drum which is more suitable for small boats. In fact, the jib furler can be extracted in just a couple of seconds without having to dismantle it and used as a forestay for sails with slides.
The absence of the tack swivel is not a problem given the reduced sail surface.
“WONDERFURL” is supplied in a practical package that contains everything you need to assemble and operate the furler, including a comprehensive instruction manual.
![avvolgifiocco avvolgifiocco](https://www.nemoindustrie.com/images/avvolgifiocco-kr.jpg)
How to choose the Jib Furler that best meets your needs.
There are four WONDERFURL models to choose from and, when selecting your model, you should bear in mind the diameter of your stay, as the given overall lengths are merely indicative.

Jib Furler Feeder.
This feeder allows a single person to raise sails of any size and fabric, preventing the formation of creases or friction that could slow down sail setting.
It facilitates insertion of the sail in the jib furler groove, thus allowing the sail to slide smoothly into its housing.
The furler feeder is in aluminium to better resist friction and prevent wear. Its bright colour makes it immediately visible even to the most demanding regatta sailor who is focused on top speed and efficiency. Together with the feeder, Nemo supplies a special sail feeder tube differing from the standard one.

Practical Sailor finds the Alado Nautica headsail furler to be easy to install and a worthwhile sail-handling tool. One feature that sets the Alado apart from other jib or genoa furlers is its staggered slotting of five-foot foil sections that slide together and interlock over a conventional wire or rod headstay. This design allows the do-it-yourselfer to fit each foil section over an attached headstay, and simply push the formed furler up the wire or rod. Mainstream headsail furlers tend to be assembled on the ground and installed with the mast horizontal. The Alado furlers design uses integral halyards to place a compression load on the foil, eliminating the need for Loctite, set screws, and a top swivel. We tested the Alado over five months of coastal cruising and daysailing.

Its been a few years since Practical Sailor took a look at jib/genoa furlers. The results of a reader survey evaluating 15 different headsail furlers were published in the Feb. 1, 2004 issue. In that article, Practical Sailor editors determined that overall, readers were satisfied with their furlers installation method, performance, and maintenance as long as they were sized and installed correctly. (More recently, we tested furlers for light-air sails in the March 2008 issue.)
Among the furlers reviewed in the 2004 article was one made by Brazil-based Alado Nautica, which has been making headsail furlers since 1990.
At the heart of the Alado furling system is a sensible self-installation foil design with a built-in halyard arrangement thats similar to what Cruising Design Inc. (CDI) pioneered some years ago. But what sets Alado apart is its staggered slotting of five-foot foil sections that slide together and interlock over a conventional wire or rod headstay.
This design allows the do-it-yourselfer to fit each foil section over an attached headstay, and simply push the formed furler up the wire or rod. Once the furlers top assembly butts against the headstays upper terminal, its time to trim and fit the last two interconnecting sections. This is accomplished by momentarily loosening the headstay and slipping on the roller drum. After reattachment, the drums bushings and end stop are put in place.
When installing a furler designed to go over an existing headstay, it may be a safe bet to go ahead and replace the headstay wire before installation-some new furlers even come with replacement wire-because once the foil goes over the wire, theres no way to monitor the wire condition.
The Alado installation process seemed very user friendly, but to make sure, we did our own test installation aboard a Bill Shaw-designed Pearson 32.
Comes As a Kit
![sailboat jib furlers Jib Furler](https://cdn.practical-sailor.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/0209-DSC_0010.jpg.webp)
The whole show is shipped in two boxes, and parts are astonishingly few in number, a feature thats trumped only by the even smaller number of tools needed to get the job done.
The top of each half-foil extrusion has a pre-drilled hole, which accepts a plastic bushing that clamps over the headstay. These high molecular-weight plastic bushings allow the foil to rotate freely on the headstay. Two 2.5-foot extrusions are included; the first is used to establish the halfway-up stagger that keeps the seams of the foil halves spaced optimally for maximum torque handling.
Each extrusion is an example of careful fabrication and quality control. Even after going through acid washing and anodizing, the smooth sliding joints allow each segment of the foil extrusion to slide into another with impressive precision.
The installers best friend is an existing halyard used to hold the growing stack of foils in place. All it takes to engage this handy helper is tying a rolling hitch around the lowest extrusions and cleating off the halyard so that the bitter end is on the headstay foil, about seven feet above the deck.
The only drawback editors found with the Alado in the 2004 survey was its owners manual, which they deemed lacking. Our test installers found the manual to be adequate but not exemplary. Alado plans to offer a how-to video on its website in the near future.
Design Differences
Mainstream headsail furlers today (Harken, Profurl, Furlex, etc.) tend to be assembled on the ground and installed with the mast horizontal. They can be hoisted aloft using a crane, or winched into place with a spinnaker halyard and a person at the masthead in a bosun chair ready with tools and a generous dose of expletives.
![sailboat jib furlers Jib Furler](https://cdn.practical-sailor.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/0209-DSC_0026.jpg.webp)
These systems use a genoa halyard from the spar itself to hoist a sliding top swivel thats shackled to the head of the sail. This system puts foil sections in tension and requires a bearing system in both the swivel and the drum. Its a tried and proven approach, and it dominates the market, especially among boats over 40 feet.
The Alado furlers design uses integral halyard(s) to place a compression load on the foil, causing the sliding extrusion segments to stay where they belong and eliminating the need for Loctite, set screws, and a top swivel. Headsail tension is relatively modest on a small cruising boats furling jib, so not being able to use your masthead halyard and winches is an acceptable compromise in this case. The down side is coping with the furling sail halyards (one or two, depending upon user preference), and how to tie them off in a manner that will keep them free from slatting against the sail or keep their tails from snarling up the furling process.
We found taming the halyard spaghetti issue a reasonably easy challenge to mount. We set up two halyards, and although the quarter-inch line initially seemed more string than rope, it has the load handling and low-stretch characteristics to do the job.
![sailboat jib furlers Jib Furler](https://cdn.practical-sailor.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/0209-DSC_0048.jpg.webp)
In order to further lessen the excess line issue, we cut the halyard tail off once the sail was hoisted, recognizing that when it was time to douse the sail, we would reattach the tail via a sheet bend.
The second halyard was run with the assumption that “twins” in a wing-and-wing headsail combo could be a useful downwind sail plan. The unused halyard was, like the working halyard, rigged externally and terminated on one of the top fittings of the roller drum. It could be messengered with a lighter piece of line, but already using a quarter-inch line for the halyard, downsizing to a messenger wouldnt be much different. Despite the fact that it led along the luff of the genoa, it seemed to remain reasonably out of the way. Time will tell whether or not flogging is an issue, and this will be something well keep an eye on during our long-term testing.
Furler Function
With an easy pull, the 120-percent genoa we hoisted wound into a tight, evenly rolled bundle about the headstay. The fore and aft slotted foils seemed quite capable of handling the torque loads associated with the furling process.
Energy derived from the line pull was imparted to the foil via the drum at the tack of the sail. The rotary force traveled aloft to the head of the sail via the foil itself, and the entire structure demonstrated that it was able to handle the torque of furling.
Weve so far put the Alado through its paces during five months of coastal cruising and daysailing. A short-handed crew has used it to furl a 120-percent genoa and to reef the sail as much as 90 percent. This testing has shown that the halyard tension of the thin-line system is perfectly adequate, and the units furling ease matches that of much more costly competitors. Whether or not we will be as optimistic about how the furler functions in a 35-knot squall remains to be seen. But we can say that our initial look revealed a well-designed and well-made unit that was a snap to install, literally. Continued testing of the system will evaluate friction, corrosion, and the impact of repeated use.

Please do not purchase an Alado furling system. My system was installed for 3 years and caused the forestay to snap while under way. The fact that the system contains its own halyard system is in no way “better” or more advanced that the other systems that use masthead forestay. Since the system is essentially floating on your forestay, all of the lateral weight caused by furling and winds on the jib are being forced upon the fittings at the top of the mast and right above the turnbuckle on the bow. On conventional furling systems the masthead halyard tightens the luff tape on the jib which helps to take some of the side loading. Stainless steel is strong when tensioned, but can break like a paperclip under constant side loads which is exactly what happened to mine. Luckily everyone on the boat was safe and I was able to recover everything. I will NOT be reinstalling the Alado system.
Where did the headstay part? What size of wire or rod? Was it a new headstay when you installed the Alado system?
Same thing happened with my Harkin furler. The foils are installed basically the same way as Aldo but without the offsetting of the joints. Not sure why you would think the halyard carrying any of the forestay load. The forestay is under 1,250 pounds for 1/4″ your halyard is maybe a 300 pounds. Sorry for the lost Kev but it sounds like a bad install
I disagree with Kev on blaming the lateral loads during furling and on the wind. Besides the furling load which are really not that strong you have much more point loads on your forestay when you use a conventional hank on sail compared to the more evenly distributed loads with the slides of the Alado system. I am using the Alado system for over 20 years now on my 27′ boat and I never had an issue besides a corrosion of the forestay wire which I could not blame the furler system for.
We are the USA Alado Roller Furling Distributor (icwstore.com) and we are very sorry to hear that the forestay failed, but this is very unlikely not due to the Alado Furling System design, weight or halyard design. The lightweight aluminum 5 -foot foil sections weigh less than 5 lbs. each, and even on a 70-foot forestay the accumulated weight would not be more than about 85 lbs., including the top headers and halyard(s). The forestay must be capable of taking several hundreds or thousands of lbs., of weight when under the force of air pressure.
Depending on the angle of the forestay, the vertical weight effect is reduced by as much as 50% and is shared by the deck fitting which, supported by the deck takes the weight differential including the drum. To have a catastrophic failure of this kind, is indicate of a metal failure at the mast connection. We will be at the Annapolis Spring and United States Boat show in 2023 and would be very pleased to show from an engineering perspective how we know the Alado could not have caused the problem.

Roller furling for jib or mainsail permits easy adjustment of sail area as a function of wind strength.
This gear is very useful when sailing short-handed. Changing or reefing a headsail that is hanked or on slides requires strenuous maneuvers on the exposed foredeck. Roller furling enables crew to reduce or add sail from the cockpit. However, it is not recommended for racing since it changes the aerodynamic characteristics of the the sail's luff, reducing performance.
Roller furling consists of an anodized aluminum shaft running along the forestay (headsails), the mast or the boom (mainsail) with a drum or worm gear at its lower end to hold the furling line. Furling involves pulling on this line while progressively slacking the headsail sheet. In the case of the mainsail, the outhaul is slacked for mast furling or the halyard for boom furling. Large boats may have electric or hydraulic furling systems for sails too large for one crew member to handle.
Choice of furling gear depends on the dimensions of the stays, masts and sails in question. It must be sturdy enough to handle the stresses of sailing and sail maneuvers.
- Added safety for when reefing - Reduces physical effort - Sails stowed in place
- Reduces vessel performance - Added weight aloft

- Description
The Sea Sure jib furler is designed for complete reliability. The drum is completely enclosed to prevent rope from coming off and jamming during the operation. It also features an all stainless steel thrust bearing so that it still operates easily when the forestay is fully tensioned. Being less than 50mm between the centres allows the jib to be set very low to the deck using an additional stainless steel extension tube. The furler will take up to 3.5m of 3mm line allowing it to be used on sails with a foot length of approximately 3m (this is reduced if larger diameter line is used)
- Drum diameter: 69mm
- Weight: 116g

Just make sure the jib halyard pulls slightly away from the forestay. Otherwise, if the pull is parallel, it's possible to get the halyard wrapped around the stay, which could stop the sail from furling. "Halyard wraps are the #1 reason systems have to be replaced in the offseason," Seldén's Scott Williman warns.
Dinghy, beach cat or small sportboat: Small Boat Furlers mount on the headstay on a sportboat or the jib's luff wire on a dinghy or beach catamaran.

This boat has an electric furler for the big Code 0, while the smaller self-tacking jib stays manual. Naturally enough it was the big-boat crowd that embraced powered furlers with open arms; rolling up a flogging genoa when you're overpowered in a rising gale is a gnarly enough job on a 40-footer, let alone on a shorthanded 50- or 60-footer. ...
5. Practical Sailor finds the Alado Nautica headsail furler to be easy to install and a worthwhile sail-handling tool.
